Alexander McQueen spring/summer 2001 - Model Erin O'Connor wore this dress during the show. She tore it apart as she was walking down the "ward" starting a very suggestive cycle of transformations. Through the partial destruction of the dress, a new creation was made - each reshaping of the dress inevitably gave birth to a new one, similar as finding life in death, in the same way in which McQueen gave life to consumed razor-clams by using their shells for the creation of this dress.

Bauhaus Ballet :: Oskar Schlemmer's 'Figurine' The "Triadisches Ballett" (Triadic Ballet) by Oskar Schlemmer premiered in Stuttgart (September 30, 1922) with music composed by Paul Hindemith. Based on the principle of the trinity, the ballet has three acts, three participants (two male, one female), twelve dances and eighteen costumes. Each act has a different colour and mood. The first three scenes, against a lemon yellow background to affect a cheerful, burlesque mood; the two middle scenes, on a pink stage, festive and solemn and the final three scenes, on black, intended to be mystical and fantastic. Schlemmer saw the movement of puppets and marionettes as aesthetically superior to that of humans, emphasising that the medium of every art is one thing: artificial. Schlemmer believed that this artifice could best be expressed through stylised movements and the abstraction of the human body. Schlemmer's consideration of the human form (the abstract geometry of the body e.g. a cylinder for the neck, a circle for head and eyes) led to the all important costume design, to create what he called his ‘figurine'.

Triadisches Ballett (Triadic Ballet) is a ballet developed by Oskar Schlemmer. It premiered in Stuttgart, on 30 September 1922, with music composed by Paul Hindemith, after formative performances dating back to 1916, with the performers Elsa Hotzel and Albert Berger. The ballet became the most widely performed avant-garde artistic dance and while Schlemmer was at the Bauhaus from 1921 to 1929, the ballet toured, helping to spread the ethos of the Bauhaus.

This costume looks different because it's a circle going through the person. It very futuristic and looks like a planet. When the ballet dancer is dancing they will have to do it side on for people to see the costume.
